I recently got an email from a gentleman asking that I correct the address on the listing for his dad’s medical clinic in my antiaging doctor directory, which I did right away. I noticed that the website he referenced pertained to something called thermography.

Thus I decided to make it the topic of this weeks newsletter. It’s a very important one because it concerns the detection of breast cancer, something that’s vitally important to every woman out there.

Infrared thermography or thermography for short is an imaging technique that can detect developing breast cancer years before it actually forms a tumor in the breast. The technique uses thermal imaging to detect a concentration of blood vessels that are forming to supply nutrients to a tumor mass.

When cancerous tumors form, they need a very dense collection of blood vessels supplying them with nutrients, because tumor cells are so terribly inefficient at creating energy.

These tumor cells can’t survive on the normal blood supply that healthy tissue utilizes, so they develop whats called a “vascular network” which shows up on the thermography scan as a hot spot.

This process can be underway years before a tumor actually forms, and can give the woman a warning that something is wrong and needs to be medically addressed. This is different from a mammogram which uses x-rays to detect a solid tumor mass.

Mammograms cannot detect cancer until a tumor has already formed, giving a woman far less time to intervene medically to deal with the developing cancer. It would be irresponsible of me to suggest that thermography replaces mammograms, because they do different things. However thermography is a very valuable tool for advanced detection of breast cancer.

The two advantages of thermography are that it uses no radiation, therefore it is very safe and will not increase the risk of cancer the way mammograms can. The other advantage is that it picks up developing cancer years before it becomes a problem.

I believe that thermography needs to be available to every woman, as a tool to detect developing cancer and allow her time to prevent the development of a tumor and the spread of the cancer from the breast to other parts of the body.

Here is a resource that will explain what thermography is and where to find a center near you where you can get tested:

I think that thermography will become more common and accepted as time goes on, and
I urge you to learn more about this amazing diagnostic tool, which will help you keep yourself cancer free.

Do you have a disease, or other medical condition that you or someone close to you is suffering from that you would like me to research and write about? Then please let me know. I can’t give medical advice because I am not a doctor.

But I CAN research things and look for the most cutting edge information and research on that topic and present it to you and everyone who reads this newsletter. Our knowledge is advancing rapidly, and I am here to report on the very latest on health, wellness, and anti-aging for everyone who reads this newsletter!

So if you have questions, or comments, please share them with me. I love hearing from you!
